Not many women can say their story goes from the world of fame to staying home and running a small at-home business but Susan Pascal can. 
She has spent time around the likes of Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp, yet nothing was quite as rewarding for her as being home with her children. In 2001, she left the working world and decided to stay home with her 2 children. With the economy as it is and her children in school, she used her experience to her advantage and started her own business, Pascal Publicity.
Thanks to the current economic downturn plus accrued expenses, it became necessary for me to get back into the work force. However, I wasn’t interested in leaving home or working 15-hour days. That could potentially undo all of the good I’ve accomplished as a stay-at-home mom, not to mention the cost of full-time daycare. So, I decided to utilize my skills as a publicist to start a consulting business, working out of my home.
